There is an information board on the banks of Gyotoku in front of the Hakozaki River Daiichi Park, the end point of walking on the site of the previous Hakozaki River.
When I found this information board the other day, I decided to walk the site of Inaribori next time.
Just before the Hakozaki River crosses the Nihonbashi River, you can see the waterway extending upward on the map above.
This is the Inaribori that I walked this time. First of all, I would like to read Inari.
He reads the sound and reads it, commonly called "Tokan". I am also involved in work
I knew the name of Tokanbori-dori because I often pass around here, but "Tokan" is
When I wrote "Inari", I learned that I was studying to take a sightseeing test in Chuo-ku.
That's right.
This Tokanbori-dori is the road that was built on the trace of this waterway.
The photo on the right shows the Kakigaracho intersection with the ruins of the Hakozaki River behind.
In other words, the right side of the photo is the current Nihonbashikakigaracho, and the left side is Nihonbashikoamicho.
In other words, this Tokanbori-dori is the boundary line.
After a while on Tokanbori Street, you will find a signboard at the site of Inaribori on the sidewalk on the Koamicho side (left side).
Looking at the map on the information board, it leads from Hakozaki River to Higashiboriru River, and along the way to the east.
And flowed through the grounds of daimyo such as the Sakai Gagaku Head House and Doi Kaimori House.
Generally, at the intersection of Kakigara-cho, turn eastward and proceed northwest again.
If you follow this road toward Ningyocho, you will see Nihonbashi Elementary School on your left. The predecessor of this Nihonbashi Elementary School was Higashika Elementary School in Chuo Ward. It seems that the name of "Toka" was also named after "Toka" in Inaribori.
In the late Edo period, there was a clan residence of Sakai of the Himeji clan, and in the early Meiji period there was a mansion of Saigo Takamori.
The photo on the left is a photo taken from the back side of Nihonbashi Elementary School and from the Koamicho side.
By the way, according to the information board of the "Inaribori Ruins" earlier.
"The common name of" Inaribori "is derived from the fact that Inari Shrine was enshrined in the northwest of the Ando family residence on the west side of the moat." What is Inari Shrine? I tried to find out which Inari Shrine was.
The first thing you can think of is Venus Inari Shrine. The current location is also located at Nihonbashi Koami 4-chome, within the ruins of the Ando family residence. But he did not stand northwest of the site of the Ando residence.
Venus Inari Shrine is also famous as a shrine to search for lost objects, and it seems that there are worshipers from Kyoto and Osaka in the distance.
Secondly, is Koami Shrine?
"The name of Inaribori is Inari to the west of Ando's residence (Venus Inari and Koami Inari depending on the Edo map).
Description) Because there was a reading of Inari, "Tokabori", commonly called "Tokabori".
"River Map Dictionary Edo, 23 wards of Tokyo" written by Kenji Sugawara
Koami Shrine stands on the extension of Tokanbori Street. With that in mind, what is this Inari Shrine?
Or is it Ginkgo Inari?
"At that time, Ginkgo Yahata was still worshiped on a small mountain. The mountain was seen just outside the wall on the north side of my house, and the large ginkgo towering high in the sky, based on its name. A small stream, which could not be neither a ditch nor a river, came from the east, and turned into a key along the fence. This is Inaribori, and I vaguely remember to see a person setting an eel basket on the duck of this stone wall, such as in the morning fog and in the summer morning when the morning fog is still clear. "

After all, there was no answer.
In this city walk, there were no discoveries related to Inaribori, but I thought and examined various things from "Toka".
Then what I actually felt on foot was too large for the use of clan residences in the Edo period. If this is modern, wouldn't property tax be quite expensive?
Last but not least, the area around Kakigara-cho along Inaribori was also a place where ceramics wholesalers concentrated from the Meiji era to the early Showa era. As a remnant, Ningyocho holds "Setonoichi" every year.
By the way, this year's schedule is from August 6 (Mon) to August 8 (Wed).
Maybe you can get valuable Setomono at a reasonable price.
Please invite all of you and carry your feet.
